General Notes: Husband - Francis Albert Dilworth


At the breaking out of the Civil War he became much interested in the Union cause, and in August, 1862, at his home on Mount Washington, Pennsylvania, recruited a company which he took to Harrisburg. It became a part of the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers (Colonel Bayne), as Company H. Mr. Dilworth was commissioned first lieutenant on August 23, 1862; he was promoted to captain. At the battle of Fredericksburg he was severely wounded, at the time believed seriously so, but was taken to Washington City and thence removed to his own home by his brother George, and finally recovered, receiving an honorable discharge May 29, 1863. After the war he engaged in the oil business, and was the first to consider the piping of gas to Pittsburgh, but his ideas were too far in advance of the times, hence history gives the credit to another. He was engaged in producing and refining oil many years. Later he became a broker in the same community, with offices at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and was thus engaged at the time of his death. Politically he was a supporter of the Republican party. He belonged to the Masonic fraternity, and was a member of the Shadyside Presbyterian church.
